Nothing very exciting

The windstorm earlier in the week knocked a big branch down off the neighbors tree. It landed across our yard and on the shed of the yard behind us. There was a little irony. The neighbors who tree fell went to great personal expense and effort earlier in the fall to have the trees cut down on a foreclosed house next door to them to keep those trees off of their house then their tree falls. Fortunately,  no one or thing was hurt. I thought they were going to get hurt pulling the tree down. They were all pulling on a rope tied to the limb while the neighbor stood under the limb with a chain saw. Not wise.

Don had gas heat put in the garage. Now his man cave is complete. He can do his manly garage things in comfort and warmth.

We went up to the lake today. Don wanted to go to Morgan and find a cafe. For a minute I thought we were in Lovington Illinois. Lots of boarded up businesses. Finally we found a place called "Deb's spicy pies." We even met Deb.

It was cold and windy so we didn't make it down to the lake to walk across the ice. Sean looked so grown up to me as he hiked in the snow.

It was a very pretty day on the lake. There were people ice fishing and cross lake skiing with their dogs.
